What are the most important aspects to a tenant's application to you?

I.e. 9-11am prospect for sale by owner/sellers; 11am-12pm call buyer leads; 12-1pm Lunch; 1-2pm call sphere of influence; 2-6pm follow up calls and go on appointments.If you follow the schedule consistently over the course of 3 months, you'll build up your pipeline so much that you'll have all the business you can handle.  

I will be closing on a duplex soon and as part of the deal, I will be inheriting some tenants that have not been the best in all aspects.

Be patient and consistent and you'll get something good.

How difficult is it in the legal aspect, get a loan and maintenance of the property.

That's not spectacular but is reasonably consistent.

Owner gets newness euphoria of opening a location and sales rush in but if the operator doesn't execute at a high level for customer service, fair pricing, and consistent great food time after time then the customers won't be returning on a regular basis if at all.

Most of my issues is the money aspect considering I’m 18 I don’t have an established credit so I think my best option would be to find a hard money lender to fund my first duplex.

My business partner and I researched all aspects of realestate investing and based on our funding and lack of experience it seemed like the safest option to go after a basic single family in need of a renovation in a neighborhood with great comps, then turn it into a rental and refinance it.

Naturally with my age, non consistent income, and just now growing my credit, the local banks laugh at the idea of me buying a home soon, but I believe with my current mentors and available private money lending, acquiring my first property won’t be the problem.My question and needed help is on whether it would be smarter to flip a house first to seek cash profit to invest in the next deal or go through with the BRRR process?
